It has a fluffy, creamy, nutty, and crunchy texture when cooked. So what’s the big buzz about it? Is it even that good for you?

First off and most important, quinoa is high in protein AND is a complete protein. It contains all 9 amino acids which makes it an awesome choice for vegans.

Not only is it high in protein but it’s a great source of manganese, magnesium, iron, copper, and phosphorus. It’s also very beneficial for people with migraine headaches, diabetes, and atherosclerosis. (I’m vegan and have migraine headaches. PERFECTO!)

If you are susceptible to migraines then try adding it into your diet. Magnesium is a mineral that helps relax blood vessels. Quinoa also contains riboflavin which has been shown to help reduce migraine attacks. Alright, enough with migraines. If you get them, definitely increase or begin your intake of this miracle ‘grain’.

I say ‘grain’ because it’s actually the seed of a plant. Most people think of it as a grain, but it’s really related to beets, chard and spinach! More the reason to eat it.
